    1865: ½ real green on greenish wove paper, a fresh and fine Plate Proof on ungummed paper with large margins all round, two minor age spots at right. A scarce and most interesting Proof in the issued colour of the 1 real. It is stated that the issue was designed by Emilia Rivadeneira who copies the Greek Large Hermes Heads for her design. This Plate Proof matched very closely the Large Hermes 5 lepta value both in colour and the shade of the paper - indeed the three original stamps are in the shades utilised for the 5, 10 and 20 lepta values.

    First Printing Group 1865: ½ real ultramarine on slightly greyish paper, a used example with four margins, clearly cancelled "Quito / Franca" datestamp "4 / ENERO / 65" - the fourth day of proposed issue and the first day of actual issue. Ex collection Olgieser. Unique.rnNote: The earliest recorded date of use for the Ecuador first issue is 4th January 1865 on this ½ real used in Quito and also on a 1 r. orange-yellow. The 1st January 1865 was a Sunday and it is probable the stamps were delivered to Post Offices on the following day and actually issued on the 3rd or 4th of January; certainly this last date marked the first shipment of adhesives to Guayaquil.

    Fourth Printing Group 1873: 1 real pale orange on "Exercise Book" paper, two unused blocks of four, rejoined to form the lower right corner block, positions 62-63/71-72 and 80-81/89-90, with the final stamp showing the rounded SE corner; vertical frameline at right with thin inner frameline alongside; the excercise paper thin blued lines are barely visible on the front or reverse, however the reverse is unusually heavily gummed for any Ecuadorean first issue adhesive and the easiest way to identify this stamp - just two sheets were formerly held in the Stanley Gibbons reference collection hence their listing (Gi. 8). Faults to the multiple with closed marginal tear on the upper block and gum; see page on face but very rare.
